Hi...are there any places that sell DeskWriter ink cartridges cheap or preferably even wholesale (like MEI for ribbons)? I haven't tested out (or even received) my new DW yet, but I've heard that these cartridges run out fairly quickly (as compared with laser toner). Does an ink exist that does not run when wetted after it has dried? something HP has been rumored to be working on. Any other cheap alternatives besides wholesale cartridges? I heard refills can be done but were a real pain. Any other opinions? Thanks.

Of course, you need to grind it just before you use it, and so I don't think anyone makes cartridges using it. -- Howard A. Landman landman@eng.sun.com -or- sun!landman
